Everyone is talking about Yogi vs Jordan. I don’t see why Yogi can’t handle the ball, freeing Jordan as a shooting guard. He’s deadly off catch & shoot. Still, what a problem to have!

Thanks to the person who recognized that Cody totally took Davis to school. I was so hoping IU would’ve been in a different bracket for a possible Cody/Tyler game.

Incredible season, guys! Thanks!

I also think that in the Baylor – Xavier game, they made even more egregious mistakes. There was a ball clearly off of a Baylor guy and the refs threw up his hands and said he didn’t know who it was out on. It became a “jump ball”. It’s just a bummer when the refs are so involved that it ends up changing the outcome of the game.

 They only made 8 fts in the last 1:45 not 14

That is pretty weak Andrew. Show some class. 

Will DE be playing from 8 – 12th on the depth chart next year, yes. But he can and will improve, and he can and will contribute IMO.  

No, pretty accurate remarks.  I’m glad he’s a great student, but we’re talking about what happens on the court.  We’re trying to win a title. We’re trying to beat teams like Kentucky.  Shoot, we’re trying not to get swept by UW for the 50th straight year.  He can flat out shoot the ball at AH against the Howards of the world.  Put him out there in a high level game and the poor guy doesn’t have a chance.  Doesn’t make him a bad dude or make me a hater.  I have nothing but facts to back me up.  He’s a big body and is experienced; he can help some next year.  But a guy who doesn’t even know how to run the baseline against a press as a junior in college is not somebody you can count on in a big spot.  Really, it’s silly to even be talking about him.  If Wat can bring it on a more consistent basis (seems likely), plus Hanner’s athleticism (how does he not play 15 min/game next year?), and Cody will be playing more b/c he’ll be older and *should* be able to avoid the fouls that sometimes limited his minutes this season…DE’s role will decrease even more, and he only averaged about 13 min/game this year.

Sorry, on the floor he is a SPACE CADET!  Like I said on another post, maybe next year it will click with him.  He has a high moter and the basketball skills to be a strong contributer, but right now he does to many dumb things on the floor.  I would like nothing better for him to get it together and help on the interior.

All the stat polls show IU around 9 thru 11.  NO doubt in my mind that we should have had a 3 seed and NOT playing KY so early.  Our stats were much better then Duke’s and they got a 2 seed and went out WAY early.

Half the drive to the hole fouls consisted of jumping into the IU player and acting like you got fouled.

YES, you are correct!  Several of those not called on KY.  Still Pritch his last 3 dunks.  He is definitly no Air Pritch…….

Like I said, I would have been OK with 10 more FTs, but not 20. I’m not cool with that in any game. We should have shot more free throws.

U may be right on all that..all I can see though is that Crean likes Cal..is sincere in his appreciation and respect for UK’s talent..coaching and playing style. Cal is on record as saying he “hates” the one and done rule” but as long as its there..he intends to use it. Plenty of opportunity to cheat with the money thrown around in Lexington by boosters…but all Cal has done there so far is bring in top talent who want to win one year and make some big money (legally) in the NBA. If its allowed…its gonna happen.

Milla- just go back and count the drives to the hole..that WAS the UK game plan..discovered in the last 10 minutes of the first game. Go hard with those athletes to the hole..score or make them foul you..they did..and we did. Playing defense against a team like that makes you tired..you reach more..more fouls..it justs snowballs..and did Friday night. IU can and should attack many teams the same way next year..they have the skills.

well the missed dunk by TP..missed layup by Jordy..and the fumble of a wide open shot in the break by Zeller didn’t help either..but its all part of the game..and UK can point to some of those things also.

Not sure its gonna be #1 pre-season. I think it will take a while for the chemistry to emerge with all the new talent joining the flow…top-10 for sure..end of season..who knows:)

Yogi will stay with anyone on defense..has the foot speed, athleticism etc. Problem is going to be taller point guards will post him up..but with defense help from our bigs..that should be managable. Biggest thing with Yogi is he can really find the open man..score multiple ways when he has too is a really smart kid who will be a floor leader. I’m glad he’s only 5-11..cause if he were 6-3..he’d be “one and done”..he’s that talented.

I hope u are right about DE..cause he can shoot. Problem is he lacks the foot speed..movement and physical flexibility to guard and score on the really athletic  and quick small /power forwards he will have to guard in key games. I think he will have a role..but if Wat comes back..VO and WS improve..and with Perea and Hollowell demanding minutes with their atheticism…DE has plenty of reason to be movitated to improvement over the off season.
